sigh While we're here, let's go ahead and debunk this hitpiece article. Starting with the title.
"REPORT: RUSSIA CHINA FUELING QANON CONSPIRACY THEORIES"
This is obviously meant to evoke feelings that QAnon is a foreign psyop, and mislead those who only read the headline into thinking that the governments of the countries themselves are doing this. But if you read a little further..
"Zach Schwitzky, the founder of the firm, acknowledged in an interview that identifying foreign content was not “an exact science” since there is rarely publicly available account information about individuals or groups who post on Facebook. But by conducting linguistic analysis of the posts and logos or photos posted, the firm was able to unmask Russian, Chinese, Saudi and Iranian actors who were posting messages or stories that advanced QAnon beliefs about child sex trafficking rings, election fraud, vaccines and COVID-19 and related issues."
"actors"; meaning, what, people who use the internet? Are you aware that this is a worldwide movement? Why wouldn't a worldwide cabal that controls the flow of information and power across the globe concern those in every geographic location? And in the next paragraph, we get another admission:
"The Limbik analysis was unable to say whether the Russian or Chinese administrators posting the material on Facebook were acting as part of a government operation. But Blazakis, the former State Department official, said: “Do I think the Russian and Chinese governments have awareness of this? I think the answer is absolutely yes.” He noted in particular the “firewall” the Chinese government uses to block foreign content it disapproves of from penetrating the internet in that country, while tightly monitoring content within the country.
“In China, nothing is going to be done without the Chinese government being aware of it,” he said. “I think there is at a minimum tacit support for the amplification we’re seeing.”"
Now he's saying:
Okay so, yeah maybe this is just individual people I can't say it's a government operation but I kinda sorta I think the government probably could atleast be aware of this and probably supports it at least a little you'd think.
Edit: There's also the fact (as someone pointed out here) that Q drops literally warn about China being the enemy. So why would this be the Chinese government?
